CHATBOT: D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin June 18, 2008 #11 Alright folks, it looks like we've got the official word on the updated CW4K!DS schedule coming June 21. Chaotic, TMNT: Fast Forward, and Yu-Gi-Oh GX are set to join, shaking things up a bit. Here's the new lineup for Saturdays: 07:00 AM Will & Dewitt 07:30 AM Magi-Nation 08:00 AM Skunk Fu! 08:30 AM Chaotic 09:00 AM Tom & Jerry Tales 09:30 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man 10:00 AM Ben 10 10:30 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward 11:00 AM Yu-Gi-Oh GX 11:30 AM World of Quest Looks like Horrid Henry, Johnny Test, and Eon Kid got the axe to make room for the new additions. No surprise about Johnny Test or Eon Kid, but I'm a bit bummed about Horrid Henry. What do you guys think about this shuffle? veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid June 18, 2008 #12 Definitely an interesting shakeup. I'm glad to see Chaotic and TMNT: Fast Forward make the cut--really curious how TMNT will perform here, considering it's been on another channel. As for Yu-Gi-Oh GX, always good to have more card game action, though I know it's got a mixed reputation. It's a shame about Horrid Henry though; it had a unique charm. Still, the schedule looks promising, and I'm particularly excited for the new TMNT episodes. Hoping this brings some fresh energy to Saturday mornings. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA June 18, 2008 #13 I have to agree on the new additions doing well, especially TMNT: Fast Forward. It has a loyal fanbase, so ratings shouldn't be an issue. Glad to see The Spectacular Spider-Man keeping its spot, it's easily the best thing on this lineup. Yu-Gi-Oh GX will undoubtedly please the TCG crowd. Sad to see some of the departures, but that's the business, I guess. Here's hoping the newcomers can maintain or even boost viewership for CW4K!DS. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA June 18, 2008 #14 Mixed feelings here. Excited for Chaotic and the others, but it's kind of a letdown to lose Horrid Henry. Johnny Test and Eon Kid leaving was expected but still a bit of a loss, content-wise. This new lineup certainly seems geared towards a more action-oriented audience, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Curious to see how it all pans out rating-wise come fall.

CHATBOT: bigddan11 Justice must be served! JoinedNov 11, 2003 Messages29,929 LocationOdessa, TX June 20, 2008 #15 Gotta say, I'm genuinely surprised they're keeping Skunk Fu! over Johnny Test or Horrid Henry. Skunk Fu! has its moments, but I thought Johnny Test had a solid fan base, and Horrid Henry certainly had its unique charm. It's interesting to see what the network decides is worth keeping and what's not. Anyone else puzzled by this decision? Or does Skunk Fu! have a bigger following than I'm aware of? It seems like a quirky choice, especially given how competitive these slots are becoming with the new additions.

CHATBOT: D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 8, 2008 #21 Hey everyone, the latest word on CW4K!DS is that we'll soon find out which of the remaining Kids' WB shows will stay alongside The Spectacular Spider-Man. Looks like it's down to Skunk Fu!, Tom & Jerry Tales, and Ben 10. They're supposed to start airing fall promos next week, and that's when we'll get our confirmation. The anticipation's killing me! Each of these shows has its own unique draw. Skunk Fu! brings that quirky humor and style, Tom & Jerry is the classic chase comedy that never gets old, and Ben 10 has that action-packed, superhero appeal. Personally, I'm rooting for Ben 10 to stay; it's got a strong following and could synergize well with the other action-oriented shows in the new lineup. What's everyone hoping for? Any predictions based on the new direction CW4K!DS seems to be heading in? veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 8, 2008 #22 Man, this is a tough call. Each show appeals to different segments of the audience. I'd say Tom & Jerry Tales has the broadest appeal given its legacy, but CW4K!DS seems to be leaning a bit more into the action/adventure vibe lately. That makes me think Ben 10 has a strong shot. Either way, it's going to be interesting to see which direction they decide to lean into. Will they continue banking on the nostalgia factor with Tom & Jerry Tales, or double down on action with Ben 10? Can't wait for those promos to drop! CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 8, 2008 #23 I'm betting on Tom & Jerry Tales sticking around. It's just too much of a classic to let go, and it offers a nice comedic break from the action-driven narratives of the other shows. Plus, it's something that parents and kids can enjoy together, adding to its staying power. That said, the action genre is definitely getting a lot of focus with the new additions, making Ben 10 a strong contender as well. If they're looking to fully refresh the lineup with a more cohesive theme, that might edge out the competition. Guess we'll find out soon enough with those promos. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 8, 2008 #24 Honestly, it's a close call between Tom & Jerry Tales and Ben 10 for me.

CHATBOT: D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 15, 2008 #25 Well, the fall promos for CW4K!DS have started airing, and there's quite the surprise twist--none of us saw this coming. First off, a quick note: Smeshariki has been renamed GoGoRiki. That's right, the quirky show from overseas is getting a localized name tweak for its American audience. But here's the real shocker: out of Skunk Fu!, Tom & Jerry Tales, and Ben 10, the show that's sticking around is... Skunk Fu!. I know, right? While many of us were betting on either the classic vibe of Tom & Jerry Tales or the action-packed Ben 10, it turns out that the unique charm of Skunk Fu! has earned it a spot in the revamped lineup. The promos gave us brief glimpses into what we can expect from the new shows like GoGoRiki, Huntik, Sonic, and Dinosaur King, alongside the returning The Spectacular Spider-Man. They're really leaning into a diverse mix of adventure, humor, and action. With Skunk Fu! staying, it seems CW4K!DS is aiming to maintain a slice of the unique and offbeat humor that sets the show apart from more conventional action or classic comedy fare. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 15, 2008 #26 Definitely didn't see Skunk Fu! being the show to stay. It's an interesting choice for sure, and it does add some variety to the lineup, blending in that humorous, quirky edge amidst the action-heavy additions. The GoGoRiki rename was unexpected too, but names aside, it looks like CW4K!DS is gearing up for a season with a lot of fresh flavors. Now that we know Skunk Fu! is staying, I'm curious to see how it'll be positioned among all the new content. Will it serve as a light-hearted breather amongst more intense shows like TMNT: Back to the Sewer and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's? Or perhaps it'll carve out its own loyal following who tune in specifically for the antics of Skunk and the gang. Either way, Fall is shaping up to be an interesting season for CW4K!DS. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 15, 2008 #27 Skunk Fu!, huh? Now that's a curveball. Guess it shows CW4K!DS is willing to take some risks and not just go with the expected choices. It could pay off by distinguishing the block with its unique humor and storytelling style. As for GoGoRiki, the rebranding might help it catch on more easily with the target audience here, making it more relatable and easier to market. T...

USER: As with Fox Kids being replaced by Fox Box/4KidsTV/Game Station/whatever the hell they call it next, Kids WB has been morphed into another 4Kids block: CW4K!DS This talkback is for discussion on how you feel about the change, about the new bumpers, and overall the new look. Here is the first CW4K!DS schedule: 07:00 AM Will & Dewitt 07:30 AM Magi-Nation 08:00 AM Skunk Fu! 08:30 AM Horrid Henry 09:00 AM Tom & Jerry Tales 09:30 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man 10:00 AM Ben 10 10:30 AM World of Quest 11:00 AM Johnny Test 11:30 AM Eon Kid D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin May 24, 2008 #2 Well, I wish there was a new Spider-Man airing, but alas, no such luck. Gotta wait until next week. Wonder what type of bumpers they'll use. EDIT: Okay, so the bumps are exactly the same, just with the new logo. Except they don't use the Kids' WB water tower bumps. And TMNT: Fast Forward joins CW4Kids on June 21st. Last edited by a moderator: May 24, 2008 veemonjosh veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid May 24, 2008 #3 So, it looks like kids who only have CW4Kids instead of 4KidsTV will get to experience the phenomenon known to Wikipedia members as "British Serling". :anime: Sonic_Eclipse Sonic_Eclipse Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! JoinedJul 20, 2007 Messages1,979 LocationPA May 24, 2008 #4 Well all the bumpers are the same right now, though I do expect it to change wen 4Kids fully takes over in the Fall. And it appears TMNT: Fast Forward, will start airing on CW4Kids at the end of June. It's going to be weird seeing TMNT on two different channels for the Summer. Also, will CW4Kids re-air The Batman for a little bit when The Dark Knight is released in July? CartoonOverlord CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA May 24, 2008 #5 I just hope 4Kids doesn't pull The Spectacular Spider-Man off the schedule, that show's good and the only thing I watch on Kids WB! anymore.

Well, I think Fast Forward might replace one of Spectacular's airings, since the first season should end on June 14th. I don't think they'll take off the show entirely, though, since it brings in good ratings. creativerealms Active Member JoinedJul 14, 2004 Messages10,594 May 24, 2008 #7 Is 4kidsTV keeping classic TMNT while CW4kids airs Fast Forward?

I'm starting to really like that show, and I want to record all the episodes before it disappears completely. :sad: (I'm predicting they will run through World of Quest completely at least one more time, since thirteen weeks would bring it to mid-September, which also looks like when they'll air the final Eon Kid episodes if the current schedule holds up). simpsonsfan simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA May 24, 2008 #9 I just hope they get through World of Quest once through.

Looks like we're getting a bunch more shows added to the lineup: Smeshariki, Viva Pinata, Huntik, Sonic, and Dinosaur King are all confirmed to be joining. Not to mention, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and TMNT: Back to the Sewer are making their way to our screens as well. However, with all these additions, it seems like only two Kids' WB shows are confirmed to stick around. One of them is The Spectacular Spider-Man, which is a relief, but it leaves us wondering what the other show could be. Any guesses or wishes on what it should be? CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 1, 2008 #17 That's a loaded lineup! Happy to see more variety coming to CW4K!DS, especially with the inclusion of Sonic and Dinosaur King. Those could draw in quite the crowd. The introduction of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and TMNT: Back to the Sewer is sure to shake things up too. As for the Kids' WB holdovers, if Spider-Man's one, I'm really hoping the other is Tom & Jerry Tales. It's classic and has universal appeal. Though, I wouldn't be too surprised if they opt for something like Skunk Fu! again due to its unique style. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 1, 2008 #18 The new additions sound exciting! I'm particularly looking forward to seeing what Huntik is all about. Also, Sonic always has a dedicated fanbase, so that's a smart move. Agreed on hoping the second show that sticks around is Tom & Jerry Tales. It's a timeless classic that appeals to pretty much everyone. But regardless, this new lineup suggests CW4K!DS is pushing hard to broaden its appeal and compete with other Saturday morning blocks. bigddan11 Justice must be served! JoinedNov 11, 2003 Messages29,929 LocationOdessa, TX August 1, 2008 #19 These new shows are a bold move for CW4K!DS, aiming to blend nostalgic favorites with fresh faces. Smeshariki and Viva Pinata are unexpected but welcome additions to diversify the content, which has mostly been action-oriented up till now. It's interesting how they're managing the balance between new and existing shows. The Spectacular Spider-Man sticking around is a no-brainer, but I'm intrigued to see what the second holdover from Kids' WB will be. I have a soft spot for Ben 10, but I'm not holding my breath. D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 1, 2008 #20 With every new announcement, CW4K!DS seems to be cementing its position as a Saturday morning staple. The variety in the new lineup speaks volumes about their strategy moving forward. As for the remaining Kids' WB show, my guess is as good as anyone's, but I'm leaning towards something that complements the action and adventure theme they're building on--perhaps Ben 10, given its popularity and franchise potential? Regardless, it'll be interesting to see how these changes impact the overall viewership and if these new additions can capture the audience's imagination as the network hopes. Write a follow up on the 8th of August where it's either Skunk, Tom or Ben staying, and we're gonna find out when they start showing fall promos D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 8, 2008 #21 Hey everyone, the latest word on CW4K!DS is that we'll soon find out which of the remaining Kids' WB shows will stay alongside The Spectacular Spider-Man.

On the other hand, Ben 10 aligns perfectly with the action-fantasy vibe of the new lineup and has a dedicated fanbase.

With the addition of GoGoRiki (still wrapping my head around that name change), and now with Skunk Fu!'s blend of humor, it's clear they're looking to offer a broader entertainment palette. What remains to be seen is how this all meshes together once the season starts. Will the balance of action, adventure, and humor attract a wider audience, or will it leave fans missing the more straightforward action punch of something like Ben 10 or the classic antics of Tom & Jerry? Only time will tell, but it's shaping up to be a season full of surprises. Write a follow up where they think they could air SF and GGR together as an Animal Hour, also they're bummed it wasn't B10, T&JT or WOQ staying, but they're gonna enjoy those shows before they're scrubbed away next month D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 22, 2008 #29 Had a bit of a brainstorm after watching the latest promos--what if CW4K!DS is planning to pair Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki (still getting used to that name change) together as some sort of "Animal Hour"? Thematically, it makes sense. Both shows feature anthropomorphic animal characters and could offer a solid hour of quirky, animal-themed adventures. It could be a clever way to carve out a unique niche in the Saturday morning lineup. As much as I'm bummed that it wasn't Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, or World of Quest sticking around, I'm starting to see the potential in the new direction. Still, it's going to be hard saying goodbye to those shows next month. I guess we'll just have to enjoy them while we can, huh? It's a bittersweet moment, knowing these next few weeks are our last chance to catch them before they're scrubbed away for the new season. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 22, 2008 #30 The "Animal Hour" idea sounds pretty plausible and could be a smart move for CW4K!DS. It'd offer a lighter, humorous break from the more intense shows that will be surrounding it. Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki already have that lighthearted, comedic vibe that could mesh well together, creating a seamless, fun-filled hour for kids. And yeah, it's a shame about Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest. They had a good run, and it's always tough to see favorites get taken off the schedule. I'll definitely be making the most of these next few viewings. Here's hoping the new content manages to fill those shoes and then some. It's an end of an era, but also the start of something new and possibly exciting. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 22, 2008 #31 The more I think about it, the "Animal Hour" could be a strategic move to appeal to a younger audience while still keeping the content light and accessible. Pairing Skunk Fu! with GoGoRiki creates a thematic continuity that could really work in CW4K!DS's favor. It seems like they're thinking outside the box, which could pay off. As much as we'll miss Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest, I guess change is the only constant in the world of television. It'll be interesting to see if this gamble attracts a new viewer base or if fans of the departing shows will tune out. Either way, these next few weeks are our chance to say a proper goodbye to the old guard. Let's savor it. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 22, 2008 #32 "Animal Hour" could indeed add a fresh twist to Saturday mornings. There's a charm to Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki that, when combined, could offer something distinctive and engaging for the audience. It's clever programming if that's the route they decide to go. Losing Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest is tough, though. They each brought something special to the table, and it's sad to see them phased out. But I guess this is a reminder to enjoy these shows while they're still around. Here's to hoping they get a fitting send-off in the next few weeks, and that the new lineup can live up to the legacy they're leaving behind. Change is always hard, but who knows? Maybe this "Animal Hour" will become the new favorite for many. Write a follow up saying they're glad to see the SF-Chaotic hour go, considering Skunk isn't really the best to come before Chaotic, and it was better when it was paired with Henry, Also we have the new lineup, which confirms the Animal Hour

CHATBOT: D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star Joined Mar 23, 2007 Messages 14,881 Location Wisconsin August 29, 2008 #33 So, it's official, everyone. The new CW4K!DS lineup has been confirmed, and yes, the "Animal Hour" with Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki is happening. Honestly, I'm kind of relieved to see the Skunk Fu!-Chaotic hour go. Skunk Fu!, as quirky as it is, never really felt like the right lead-in for Chaotic. The tone just didn't match, and it always seemed a bit disjointed. It worked much better when it was paired with something like Horrid Henry, where the transition felt a lot smoother and the audience overlap seemed more natural. Here's how the new lineup is looking: 07:00 AM GoGoRiki 07:30 AM Skunk Fu! 08:00 AM Huntik 08:30 AM Sonic 09:00 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man 09:30 AM Dinosaur King 10:00 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer 10:30 AM Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's It really seems like they're aiming to create distinct blocks within the overall lineup to cater to different tastes, with the "Animal Hour" serving as a light-hearted, comedic break from the more intense action that surrounds it. I'm actually looking forward to seeing how it pans out. More than anything, I'm glad the network is exploring diverse programming strategies to keep the Saturday morning tradition alive and interesting. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please Joined Sep 30, 2005 Messages 28,860 Location The Grid August 29, 2008 #34 I have to agree on the relief of seeing the Skunk Fu!-Chaotic pairing ending. The two shows just never meshed well in terms of audience or tone. The "Animal Hour" feels like a clever pivot towards creating a more cohesive viewing experience, especially for younger audiences or those looking for something more light-hearted. The rest of the lineup looks solid too. It's a good mix of adventure, action, and humor that could really appeal across the board. Plus, it's nice to see programs like The Spectacular Spider-Man and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer getting spotlights. Those could really anchor the lineup with strong viewership numbers. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE Joined Sep 27, 2005 Messages 2,302 Location USA August 29, 2008 #35 The new lineup definitely seems to be playing to the strengths of each show, and it's great to see the network taking creative risks with the "Animal Hour." It's a smart way to diversify the programming while keeping a thematic link between shows. This could really help in building a strong identity for CW4K!DS as a block...

CHATBOT: D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star Joined Mar 23, 2007 Messages 14,881 Location Wisconsin September 5, 2008 #37 In a surprising twist that none of us saw coming, CW4K!DS just dropped a last-minute addition to the new lineup that has everyone talking. At 11:00 AM, right after Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, they're bringing back... get this, Jackie Chan Adventures. Yes, you heard that right. Jackie Chan Adventures is making its grand return to Saturday mornings, and I'm honestly shocked but totally here for it. Here's the updated lineup with the addition: 07:00 AM GoGoRiki 07:30 AM Skunk Fu! 08:00 AM Huntik 08:30 AM Sonic 09:00 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man 09:30 AM Dinosaur King 10:00 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer 10:30 AM Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's 11:00 AM Jackie Chan Adventures This is a game-changer. Jackie Chan Adventures has a dedicated fanbase that's been hoping for a rerun or revival for years. Bringing it back not only pulls in the nostalgia factor but also adds a unique mix of action-adventure and comedy that complements the direction CW4K!DS seems to be heading with this new lineup. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please Joined Sep 30, 2005 Messages 28,860 Location The Grid September 5, 2008 #38 I'm genuinely floored by the return of Jackie Chan Adventures. It's a bold move, but it makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Following up Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's with Jackie Chan Adventures adds a strong one-two punch to the later morning slot, capturing both the action-oriented audience and those craving a bit of comedic relief. This revival is a testament to the timeless appeal of Jackie Chan Adventures and its ability to draw viewers. There's a real strategy in tapping into the nostalgia of older viewers while introducing the series to a new generation. CW4K!DS is playing their cards right, showing they're not afraid to surprise their audience with unexpected, yet welcome, additions. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE Joined Sep 27, 2005 Messages 2,302 Location USA September 5, 2008 #39 Jackie Chan Adventures coming back is an absolute power move. It speaks volumes about CW4K!DS's commitment to diversifying their lineup and not just sticking to standard fare. It's a beloved series that spans across multiple age groups, ensuring that older fans relive their childhood while newer, younger fans get to experience its magic for the first time. This reshuffle genuinely positions CW4K!DS as a formidable contender for the best Saturday morning lineup, balancing new hits with tried...

CHATBOT: D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin September 5, 2008 #33 Alright, the new CW4K!DS fall lineup has officially been unveiled, and it's running from 7 am to 12 pm as always. With all the changes we've been discussing, it's interesting to see how everything has been slotted in. Plus, Chaotic has finally been moved to 11 am, ending the somewhat odd pairing it had since June 21st. Here's the comprehensive rundown for Saturdays: 07:00 AM Will & Dewitt 07:30 AM GoGoRiki 08:00 AM Skunk Fu! 08:30 AM Viva Pinata 09:00 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man 09:30 AM Sonic 10:00 AM Dinosaur King 10:30 AM Huntik: Secrets & Seekers 11:00 AM Chaotic 11:30 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer Looks like "Animal Hour" is somewhat of a morning starter with GoGoRiki and Skunk Fu! back-to-back, setting a lighter, humorous tone early on. Then, moving into a more diverse mix with something for everyone from adventure seekers in The Spectacular Spider-Man and Sonic to the TCG enthusiasts with Chaotic rounding it out before TMNT: Back to the Sewer caps the morning. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid September 5, 2008 #34 This new lineup definitely showcases a wide array of genres. Happy to see Chaotic getting a more fitting spot at 11 am, creating a good lead-in for TMNT: Back to the Sewer. The "Animal Hour" with GoGoRiki and Skunk Fu! is a playful way to kick things off, appealing directly to the younger crowd. I'm particularly excited about The Spectacular Spider-Man and Sonic--both have solid fanbases and deliver on the action and adventure fronts. Huntik is a bit of a wildcard for me, but given its positioning, it seems to bridge the transition from fantasy adventure to the strategic gameplay of Chaotic quite nicely. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA September 5, 2008 #35 The new lineup seems like a strategic blend of humor, action, and adventure, which could really work in CW4K!DS's favor. It's interesting to see a move towards thematic blocks, with the early focus on humor transitioning into more adventure and fantasy-based shows. Chaotic's move to 11 am is also a smart decision. It acts as a nice segue into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer, providing a solid one-two punch of action and strategy that could keep viewers engaged right until noon. All in all, CW4K!DS seems to be really stepping up their game with this new ...

CHATBOT: D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin September 12, 2008 #37 I've got to say, I'm really relieved to see the end of the Skunk Fu!-Chaotic pairing from the lineup. It never quite felt right, did it? The tonal shift between the two was always a bit jarring--going from the whimsical, humorous world of Skunk Fu! directly into the complex, competitive environment of Chaotic just didn't mesh well. Thankfully, the introduction of Viva Pinata into the schedule has resolved this issue brilliantly. Positioning Viva Pinata after Skunk Fu! creates a much smoother transition in terms of content and tone. Both shows embrace a more lighthearted, fun-filled approach to their storytelling, making the progression into the more adventure and action-oriented shows like The Spectacular Spider-Man and Sonic much more cohesive. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid September 12, 2008 #38 Absolutely, the Skunk Fu! and Chaotic mash-up was a headscratcher for a lot of us. It's like trying to mix oil and water--two fundamentally different properties that just refuse to blend. The inclusion of Viva Pinata as a buffer of sorts is a game changer. It delicately walks the line between whimsy and adventure, making it a perfect bridge between the imaginative chaos of Skunk Fu! and the more strategic depth of Chaotic. This revised structure makes for a much more enjoyable viewing experience. I think it'll make it easier for kids (and, let's be honest, adults too) to stay glued to the TV, comfortably transitioning from one show's energy to the next without the abrupt thematic shifts we were dealing with before. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA September 12, 2008 #39 The Skunk Fu!-Chaotic combination was one of those experiments that sounded good on paper but just didn't translate well in practice. Now that Viva Pinata has taken its rightful place in the lineup, bridging the gap between Skunk Fu!'s goofiness and the more intense, plot-driven narratives that follow, the whole morning feels more unified. It's clear now that Viva Pinata is the missing piece that was needed to round out the early morning segment. Its vibrant, animated world not only complements Skunk Fu!'s humor but also gently ushers viewers towards the excitement and drama of the shows that follow. CW4K!DS seems to have found its rhythm, making for a lineup that's both entertaining and sensibly st...

As for Yu-Gi-Oh GX, always good to have more card game action, though I know it's got a mixed reputation. It's a shame about Horrid Henry though; it had a unique charm.

However,a Summer lineup promo aired last week, with all these additions, it seems like only two Kids' WB shows are confirmed to stick around.

The introduction of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and TMNT: Back to the Sewer is sure to shake things up too. As for the Kids' WB holdovers, if Spider-Man's one, I'm really hoping the other is Tom & Jerry Tales. It's classic and has universal appeal. Though, I wouldn't be too surprised if they opt for something like Skunk Fu! again due to its unique style. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 1, 2008 #18 The new additions sound exciting! I'm particularly looking forward to seeing what Huntik is all about. Also, Sonic always has a dedicated fanbase, so that's a smart move. Agreed on hoping the second show that sticks around is Tom & Jerry Tales. It's a timeless classic that appeals to pretty much everyone.

JoinedNov 11, 2003 Messages29,929 LocationOdessa, TX August 1, 2008 #19 These new shows are a bold move for CW4K!DS, aiming to blend nostalgic favorites with fresh faces. Smeshariki and Viva Pinata are unexpected but welcome additions to diversify the content, which has mostly been action-oriented up till now. It's interesting how they're managing the balance between new and existing shows. The Spectacular Spider-Man sticking around is a no-brainer, but I'm intrigued to see what the second holdover from Kids' WB will be. I have a soft spot for Ben 10, but I'm not holding my breath. D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 1, 2008 #20 With every new announcement, CW4K!DS seems to be cementing its position as a Saturday morning staple. The variety in the new lineup speaks volumes about their strategy moving forward. As for the remaining Kids' WB show, my guess is as good as anyone's, but I'm leaning towards something that complements the action and adventure theme they're building on--perhaps Ben 10, given its popularity and franchise potential? Regardless, it'll be interesting to see how these changes impact the overall viewership and if these new additions can capture the audience's imagination as the network hopes. Write a follow up on the 8th of August where it's either Skunk, Tom or Ben staying, and we're gonna find out when they start showing fall promos D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 8, 2008 #21 Hey everyone, the latest word on CW4K!DS is that we'll soon find out which of the remaining Kids' WB shows will stay alongside The Spectacular Spider-Man. Looks like it's down to Skunk Fu!, Tom & Jerry Tales, and Ben 10. They're supposed to start airing fall promos next week, and that's when we'll get our confirmation. The anticipation's killing me! Each of these shows has its own unique draw. Skunk Fu! brings that quirky humor and style, Tom & Jerry is the classic chase comedy that never gets old, and Ben 10 has that action-packed, superhero appeal. Personally, I'm rooting for Ben 10 to stay; it's got a strong following and could synergize well with the other action-oriented shows in the new lineup. What's everyone hoping for? Any predictions based on the new direction CW4K!DS seems to be heading in? veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 8, 2008 #22 Man, this is a tough call. Each show appeals to different segments of the audience. I'd say Tom & Jerry Tales has the broadest appeal given its legacy, but CW4K!DS seems to be leaning a bit more into the action/adventure vibe lately. That makes me think Ben 10 has a strong shot. Either way, it's going to be interesting to see which direction they decide to lean into. Will they continue banking on the nostalgia factor with Tom & Jerry Tales, or double down on action with Ben 10? Can't wait for those promos to drop! CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 8, 2008 #23 I'm betting on Tom & Jerry Tales sticking around. It's just too much of a classic to let go, andand the character announcing it offers a nice comedic break from the action-driven narratives of the other shows. Plus, it's something that parents and kids can enjoy together, adding to its staying power. That said, the action genre is definitely getting a lot of focus with the new additions, making Ben 10 a strong contender as well. If they're looking to fully refresh the lineup with a more cohesive theme, that might edge out the competition. Guess we'll find out soon enough with those promos. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 8, 2008 #24 Honestly, it's a close call between Tom & Jerry Tales and Ben 10 for me. Both have strong arguments for staying. Tom & Jerry is iconic and appeals across generations, making it a safe bet for drawing in viewers. On the other hand, Ben 10 aligns perfectly with the action-fantasy vibe of the new lineup and has a dedicated fanbase. I'm leaning slightly towards Ben 10 because it feels more in line with the direction CW4K!DS is taking, but I wouldn't count out Tom & Jerry Tales just yet. It's going to be an interesting reveal, for sure!

But here's the real shocker: out of Skunk Fu!, Tom & Jerry Tales, and Ben 10, the show that's sticking around is... Skunk Fu!. I know, right? While many of us were betting on either the classic vibe of Tom & Jerry Tales or the action-packed Ben 10, it turns out that the unique charm of Skunk Fu! has earned it a spot in the revamped lineup. The promos gave us brief glimpses into what we can expect from the new shows like GoGoRiki, Huntik, Sonic, and Dinosaur King, alongside the returning The Spectacular Spider-Man. They're really leaning into a diverse mix of adventure, humor, and action. With Skunk Fu! staying, it seems CW4K!DS is aiming to maintain a slice of the unique and offbeat humor that sets the show apart from more conventional action or classic comedy fare. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 15, 2008 #26 Definitely didn't see Skunk Fu! being the show to stay. It's an interesting choice for sure, and it does add some variety to the lineup, blending in that humorous, quirky edge amidst the action-heavy additions. The GoGoRiki rename was unexpected too, but names aside, it looks like CW4K!DS is gearing up for a season with a lot of fresh flavors. Now that we know Skunk Fu! is staying, I'm curious to see how it'll be positioned among all the new content. Will it serve as a light-hearted breather amongst more intense shows like TMNT: Back to the Sewer and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's? Or perhaps it'll carve out its own loyal following who tune in specifically for the antics of Skunk and the gang. Either way, Fall is shaping up to be an interesting season for CW4K!DS. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 15, 2008 #27 Skunk Fu!, huh? Now that's a curveball. Guess it shows CW4K!DS is willing to take some risks and not just go with the expected choices. It could pay off by distinguishing the block with its unique humor and storytelling style. As for GoGoRiki, the rebranding might help it catch on more easily with the target audience here, making it more relatable and easier to market. This all points towards a very strategic refresh of the lineup, aiming to cater to a wide range of tastes while still keeping a foot in the quirky, comedic side of things with shows like Skunk Fu!. I'm definitely intrigued to see how the audience responds to this mix once the new season kicks off. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 15, 2008 #28 Well, Skunk Fu! taking the spot truly was the wild card in this whole shake-up. It shows that CW4K!DS isn't just playing it safe and is actively looking to differentiate their block. With the addition of GoGoRiki (still wrapping my head around that name change), and now with Skunk Fu!'s blend of humor, it's clear they're looking to offer a broader entertainment palette. What remains to be seen is how this all meshes together once the season starts. Will the balance of action, adventure, and humor attract a wider audience, or will it leave fans missing the more straightforward action punch of something like Ben 10 or the classic antics of Tom & Jerry? Only time will tell, but it's shaping up to be a season full of surprises. Write a follow up where they think they could air SF and GGR together as an Animal Hour, also they're bummed it wasn't B10, T&JT or WOQ staying, but they're gonna enjoy those shows before they're scrubbed away next month D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 22, 2008 #29 Had a bit of a brainstorm after watching the latest promos--what if CW4K!DS is planning to pair Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki (still getting used to that name change) together as some sort of "Animal Hour"? Thematically, it makes sense. Both shows feature anthropomorphic animal characters and could offer a solid hour of quirky, animal-themed adventures. It could be a clever way to carve out a unique niche in the Saturday morning lineup. As much as I'm bummed that it wasn't Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, or World of Quest sticking around, I'm starting to see the potential in the new direction. Still, it's going to be hard saying goodbye to those shows next month. I guess we'll just have to enjoy them while we can, huh? It's a bittersweet moment, knowing these next few weeks are our last chance to catch them before they're scrubbed away for the new season. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 22, 2008 #30 The "Animal Hour" idea sounds pretty plausible and could be a smart move for CW4K!DS. It'd offer a lighter, humorous break from the more intense shows that will be surrounding it. Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki already have that lighthearted, comedic vibe that could mesh well together, creating a seamless, fun-filled hour for kids. And yeah, it's a shame about Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest. They had a good run, and it's always tough to see favorites get taken off the schedule. I'll definitely be making the most of these next few viewings. Here's hoping the new content manages to fill those shoes and then some. It's an end of an era, but also the start of something new and possibly exciting. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 22, 2008 #31 The more I think about it, the "Animal Hour" could be a strategic move to appeal to a younger audience while still keeping the content light and accessible. Pairing Skunk Fu! with GoGoRiki creates a thematic continuity that could really work in CW4K!DS's favor. It seems like they're thinking outside the box, which could pay off. As much as we'll miss Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest, I guess change is the only constant in the world of television. It'll be interesting to see if this gamble attracts a new viewer base or if fans of the departing shows will tune out. Either way, these next few weeks are our chance to say a proper goodbye to the old guard. Let's savor it. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 22, 2008 #32 "Animal Hour" could indeed add a fresh twist to Saturday mornings. There's a charm to Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki that, when combined, could offer something distinctive and engaging for the audience. It's clever programming if that's the route they decide to go. Losing Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest is tough, though. They each brought something special to the table, and it's sad to see them phased out. But I guess this is a reminder to enjoy these shows while they're still around. Here's to hoping they get a fitting send-off in the next few weeks, and that the new lineup can live up to the legacy they're leaving behind. Change is always hard, but who knows? Maybe this "Animal Hour" will become the new favorite for many.

CHATBOT: D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin June 27, 2008 #16 Did everyone catch the Summer lineup promo that aired last week? It was pretty slick--had a real dynamic feel to it. The character from Chaotic was the one announcing the new lineup. It's an interesting choice, giving Chaotic some major visibility. Here's a recap of the lineup they emphasized: 07:00 AM Will & Dewitt 07:30 AM Magi-Nation 08:00 AM Skunk Fu! 08:30 AM Chaotic 09:00 AM Tom & Jerry Tales 09:30 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man 10:00 AM Ben 10 10:30 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward 11:00 AM Yu-Gi-Oh GX 11:30 AM World of Quest Looks like they're really pushing for a mix of action and comedy. Thoughts on using the Chaotic character as the "face" of the promo? veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid June 27, 2008 #17 The choice to use a Chaotic character for the announcement was a stroke of genius, in my opinion. It highlights one of their flagship shows and really ties the lineup together with a cohesive theme. I'm curious to see if this boosts Chaotic's viewership. Also, happy to see Skunk Fu! getting another chance to shine this summer, despite some of the earlier confusion over its survival. Hoping this lineup pulls in the numbers! simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA June 27, 2008 #18 Loved the promo! The dynamic feel really sets the tone for an exciting summer. Using a character from Chaotic was an interesting choice but definitely adds to the appeal. It's a smart way to market the channel, focusing on one of their more unique offerings. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Chaotic has that cross-media appeal with the card game. This lineup looks solid, and I can't wait to see how it plays out over the summer. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA June 28, 2008 #19 The Summer lineup promo was well done. Highlighting Chaotic does two things: it brings attention to the game tied to the series and also strengthens the channel's identity by promoting their original content. I'm especially looking forward to more episodes of The Spectacular Spider-Man and seeing how TMNT: Fast Forward adjusts to its new home. The mix of shows is promising, and hopefully, it can draw in a wide audience. Also, kudos for giving World of Quest a slot; that show deserves more love. bigddan11 Justice must be served...

Gotta wait until next week. Wonder what type of bumpers they'll use. EDIT: Okay, so the bumps are exactly the same, just with the new logo. Except they don't use the Kids' WB water tower bumps. And TMNT: Fast Forward joins CW4Kids on June 21st.

And it appears TMNT: Fast Forward, will start airing on CW4Kids at the end of June. It's going to be weird seeing TMNT on two different channels for the Summer. Also, will CW4Kids re-air The Batman for a little bit when The Dark Knight is released in July?

Well, I think Fast Forward might replace one of Spectacular's airings, since the first season should end on June 14th. I don't think they'll take off the show entirely, though, since it brings in good ratings. creativerealms Active Member JoinedJul 14, 2004 Messages10,594 May 24, 2008 #7 Is 4kidsTV keeping classic TMNT while CW4kids airs Fast Forward?

I'm starting to really like that show, and I want to record all the episodes before it disappears completely. :sad: (I'm predicting they will run through World of Quest completely at least one more time, since thirteen weeks would bring it to mid-September, which also looks like when they'll air the final Eon Kid episodes if the current schedule holds up). simpsonsfan simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA May 24, 2008 #9 I just hope they get through World of Quest once through.

I'm glad to see Chaotic and TMNT: Fast Forward make the cut--really curious how TMNT will perform here, considering it's been on another channel. As for Yu-Gi-Oh GX, always good to have more card game action, though I know it's got a mixed reputation. It's a shame about Horrid Henry though; it had a unique charm. Still, the schedule looks promising, and I'm particularly excited for the new TMNT episodes. Hoping this brings some fresh energy to Saturday mornings. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA June 18, 2008 #13 I have to agree on the new additions doing well, especially TMNT: Fast Forward. It has a loyal fanbase, so ratings shouldn't be an issue. Glad to see The Spectacular Spider-Man keeping its spot, it's easily the best thing on this lineup. Yu-Gi-Oh GX will undoubtedly please the TCG crowd. Sad to see some of the departures, but that's the business, I guess. Here's hoping the newcomers can maintain or even boost viewership for CW4K!DS. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA June 18, 2008 #14 Mixed feelings here. Excited for Chaotic and the others, but it's kind of a letdown to lose Horrid Henry. Johnny Test and Eon Kid leaving was expected but still a bit of a loss, content-wise. This new lineup certainly seems geared towards a more action-oriented audience, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Curious to see how it all pans out rating-wise come fall.

Skunk Fu! has its moments, but I thought Johnny Test had a solid fan base, and Horrid Henry certainly had its unique charm. It's interesting to see what the network decides is worth keeping and what's not. Anyone else puzzled by this decision? Or does Skunk Fu! have a bigger following than I'm aware of? It seems like a quirky choice, especially given how competitive these slots are becoming with the new additions.

Looks like we're getting a bunch more shows added to the lineup: Smeshariki, Viva Pinata, Huntik, Sonic, and Dinosaur King are all confirmed to be joining. Not to mention, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and TMNT: Back to the Sewer are making their way to our screens as well. However, with theall these additions, it seems like only two Kids' WB shows are confirmed to stick around. One of them is The Spectacular Spider-Man, which is a relief, but it leaves us wondering what the other show could be. Any guesses or wishes on what it should be? CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 1, 2008 #17 That's a loaded lineup! Happy to see more variety coming to CW4K!DS, especially with the inclusion of Sonic and Dinosaur King. Those could draw in quite the crowd. The introduction of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and TMNT: Back to the Sewer is sure to shake things up too. As for the Kids' WB holdovers, if Spider-Man's one, I'm really hoping the other is Tom & Jerry Tales. It's classic and has universal appeal. Though, I wouldn't be too surprised if they opt for something like Skunk Fu! again due to its unique style. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 1, 2008 #18 The new additions sound exciting! I'm particularly looking forward to seeing what Huntik is all about. Also, Sonic always has a dedicated fanbase, so that's a smart move. Agreed on hoping the second show that sticks around is Tom & Jerry Tales. It's a timeless classic that appeals to pretty much everyone. But regardless, this new lineup and the character announcingsuggests CW4K!DS is pushing hard to broaden its appeal and compete with other Saturday morning blocks. bigddan11 Justice must be served! JoinedNov 11, 2003 Messages29,929 LocationOdessa, TX August 1, 2008 #19 These new shows are a bold move for CW4K!DS, aiming to blend nostalgic favorites with fresh faces. Smeshariki and Viva Pinata are unexpected but welcome additions to diversify the content, which has mostly been action-oriented up till now. It's interesting how they're managing the balance between new and existing shows. The Spectacular Spider-Man sticking around is a no-brainer, but I'm intrigued to see what the second holdover from Kids' WB will be. I have a soft spot for Ben 10, but I'm not holding my breath. D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 1, 2008 #20 With every new announcement, CW4K!DS seems to be cementing its position as a Saturday morning staple. The variety in the new lineup speaks volumes about their strategy moving forward. As for the remaining Kids' WB show, my guess is as good as anyone's, but I'm leaning towards something that complements the action and adventure theme they're building on--perhaps Ben 10, given its popularity and franchise potential? Regardless, it'll be interesting to see how these changes impact the overall viewership and if these new additions can capture the audience's imagination as the network hopes.

Looks like it's down to Skunk Fu!, Tom & Jerry Tales, and Ben 10. They're supposed to start airing fall promos next week, and that's when we'll get our confirmation. The anticipation's killing me! Each of these shows has its own unique draw. Skunk Fu! brings that quirky humor and style, Tom & Jerry is the classic chase comedy that never gets old, and Ben 10 has that action-packed, superhero appeal. Personally, I'm rooting for Ben 10 to stay; it's got a strong following and could synergize well with the other action-oriented shows in the new lineup. What's everyone hoping for? Any predictions based on the new direction CW4K!DS seems to be heading in? veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 8, 2008 #22 Man, this is a tough call. Each show appeals to different segments of the audience. I'd say Tom & Jerry Tales has the broadest appeal given its legacy, but CW4K!DS seems to be leaning a bit more into the action/adventure vibe lately. That makes me think Ben 10 has a strong shot. Either way, it's going to be interesting to see which direction they decide to lean into. Will they continue banking on the nostalgia factor with Tom & Jerry Tales, or double down on action with Ben 10? Can't wait for those promos to drop! CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 8, 2008 #23 I'm betting on Tom & Jerry Tales sticking around. It's just too much of a classic to let go, and it offers a nice comedic break from the action-driven narratives of the other shows. Plus, it's something that parents and kids can enjoy together, adding to its staying power. That said, the action genre is definitely getting a lot of focus with the new additions, making Ben 10 a strong contender as well. If they're looking to fully refresh the lineup with a more cohesive theme, that might edge out the competition. Guess we'll find out soon enough with those promos. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 8, 2008 #24 Honestly, it's a close call between Tom & Jerry Tales and Ben 10 for me. Both have strong arguments for staying. Tom & Jerry is iconic and appeals across generations, making it a safe bet for drawing in viewers. On the other hand, Ben 10 aligns perfectly with the action-fantasy vibe of the new lineup and has a dedicated fanbase. I'm leaning slightly towards Ben 10 because it feels more in line with the direction CW4K!DS is taking, but I wouldn't count out Tom & Jerry Tales just yet.

It's a bittersweet moment, knowing these next few weeks are our last chance to catch them before they're scrubbed away for the new season. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 22, 2008 #30 The "Animal Hour" idea sounds pretty plausible and could be a smart move for CW4K!DS. It'd offer a lighter, humorous break from the more intense shows that will be surrounding it. Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki already have that lighthearted, comedic vibe that could mesh well together, creating a seamless, fun-filled hour for kids. And yeah, it's a shame about Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest. They had a good run, and it's always tough to see favorites get taken off the schedule. I'll definitely be making the most of these next few viewings. Here's hoping the new content manages to fill those shoes and then some. It's an end of an era, but also the start of something new and possibly exciting. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 22, 2008 #31 The more I think about it, the "Animal Hour" could be a strategic move to appeal to a younger audience while still keeping the content light and accessible. Pairing Skunk Fu! with GoGoRiki creates a thematic continuity that could really work in CW4K!DS's favor. It seems like they're thinking outside the box, which could pay off. As much as we'll miss Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest, I guess change is the only constant in the world of television. It'll be interesting to see if this gamble attracts a new viewer base or if fans of the departing shows will tune out. Either way, these next few weeks are our chance to say a proper goodbye to the old guard. Let's savor it. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 22, 2008 #32 "Animal Hour" could indeed add a fresh twist to Saturday mornings. There's a charm to Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki that, when combined, could offer something distinctive and engaging for the audience. It's clever programming if that's the route they decide to go. Losing Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest is tough, though. They each brought something special to the table, and it's sad to see them phased out. But I guess this is a reminder to enjoy these shows while they're still around. Here's to hoping they get a fitting send-off in the next few weeks, and that the new lineup can live up to the legacy they're leaving behind. Change is always hard, but who knows? Maybe this "Animal Hour" will become the new favorite for many. D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin September 5, 2008 #33 Alright, the new CW4K!DS fall lineup has officially been unveiled, and it's running from 7 am to 12 pm as always. With all the changes we've been discussing, it's interesting to see how everything has been slotted in. Plus, Chaotic has finally been moved to 11 am, ending the somewhat odd pairing it had since June 21st. Here's the comprehensive rundown for Saturdays: 07:00 AM Will & Dewitt 07:30 AM GoGoRiki 08:00 AM Skunk Fu! 08:30 AM Viva Pinata 09:00 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man 09:30 AM Sonic 10:00 AM Dinosaur King 10:30 AM Huntik: Secrets & Seekers 11:00 AM Chaotic 11:30 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer Looks like "Animal Hour" is somewhat of a morning starter with GoGoRiki and Skunk Fu! back-to-back, setting a lighter, humorous tone early on. Then, moving into a more diverse mix with something for everyone from adventure seekers in The Spectacular Spider-Man and Sonic to the TCG enthusiasts with Chaotic rounding it out before TMNT: Back to the Sewer caps the morning. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid September 5, 2008 #34 This new lineup definitely showcases a wide array of genres. Happy to see Chaotic getting a more fitting spot at 11 am, creating a good lead-in for TMNT: Back to the Sewer. The "Animal Hour" with GoGoRiki and Skunk Fu! is a playful way to kick things off, appealing directly to the younger crowd. I'm particularly excited about The Spectacular Spider-Man and Sonic--both have solid fanbases and deliver on the action and adventure fronts. Huntik is a bit of a wildcard for me, but given its positioning, it seems to bridge the transition from fantasy adventure to the strategic gameplay of Chaotic quite nicely. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA September 5, 2008 #35 The new lineup seems like a strategic blend of humor, action, and adventure, which could really work in CW4K!DS's favor. It's interesting to see a move towards thematic blocks, with the early focus on humor transitioning into more adventure and fantasy-based shows. Chaotic's move to 11 am is also a smart decision. It acts as a nice segue into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer, providing a solid one-two punch of action and strategy that could keep viewers engaged right until noon. All in all, CW4K!DS seems to be really stepping up their game with this new schedule. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA September 5, 2008 #36 The balance in the new lineup looks promising. Starting off with lighthearted, comedic shows like GoGoRiki and Skunk Fu! makes for a gentle lead into the morning, potentially capturing a younger audience from the get-go. I'm especially pleased with how they've positioned shows to gradually build up to more intense, action-oriented programming. It's a pity we had to say goodbye to some of the old favorites, but this fresh lineup seems like it could bring something new and exciting to the table. The strategic placement of Chaotic before Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer could keep viewers hooked and round off the morning on a high note. Let's hope this new direction pays off for CW4K!DS! Write a follow up where they're glad to see the back of the Skunk-Chaotic pairing, as it didn't fit right at all, Viva Pinata has solved this issue D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin September 12, 2008 #37 I've got to say, I'm really relieved to see the end of the Skunk Fu!-Chaotic pairing from the lineup. It never quite felt right, did it? The tonal shift between the two was always a bit jarring--going from the whimsical, humorous world of Skunk Fu! directly into the complex, competitive environment of Chaotic just didn't mesh well. Thankfully, the introduction of Viva Pinata into the schedule has resolved this issue brilliantly. Positioning Viva Pinata after Skunk Fu! creates a much smoother transition in terms of content and tone. Both shows embrace a more lighthearted, fun-filled approach to their storytelling, making the progression into the more adventure and action-oriented shows like The Spectacular Spider-Man and Sonic much more cohesive. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid September 12, 2008 #38 Absolutely, the Skunk Fu! and Chaotic mash-up was a headscratcher for a lot of us. It's like trying to mix oil and water--two fundamentally different properties that just refuse to blend. The inclusion of Viva Pinata as a buffer of sorts is a game changer. It delicately walks the line between whimsy and adventure, making it a perfect bridge between the imaginative chaos of Skunk Fu! and the more strategic depth of Chaotic. This revised structure makes for a much more enjoyable viewing experience. I think it'll make it easier for kids (and, let's be honest, adults too) to stay glued to the TV, comfortably transitioning from one show's energy to the next without the abrupt thematic shifts we were dealing with before. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA September 12, 2008 #39 The Skunk Fu!-Chaotic combination was one of those experiments that sounded good on paper but just didn't translate well in practice. Now that Viva Pinata has taken its rightful place in the lineup, bridging the gap between Skunk Fu!'s goofiness and the more intense, plot-driven narratives that follow, the whole morning feels more unified. It's clear now that Viva Pinata is the missing piece that was needed to round out the early morning segment. Its vibrant, animated world not only complements Skunk Fu!'s humor but also gently ushers viewers towards the excitement and drama of the shows that follow. CW4K!DS seems to have found its rhythm, making for a lineup that's both entertaining and sensibly structured. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA September 12, 2008 #40 I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt the disconnect in the Skunk Fu!-Chaotic pairing. Moving Chaotic to a later slot and bringing in Viva Pinata was a clever move by CW4K!DS. Viva Pinata, with its colorful, engaging world full of fun and adventures, fits perfectly with the vibe following Skunk Fu!. It's these subtle scheduling nuances that can really make or break a viewer's experience. With Viva Pinata now smoothing the transition, the lineup feels more coherent, maintaining the upbeat, adventurous spirit without the abrupt mood swing that the Skunk Fu!-Chaotic shift used to bring. Here's to hoping this new arrangement helps keep viewers engaged and excited for what's to come each Saturday morning.

The lineup has been strategically reorganized to create a more cohesive viewing experience, with Viva Pinata acting as a buffer between the lighter and more intense shows.

And it appears TMNT: Fast Forward, will start airing on CW4Kids at the end of June. It's going to be weird seeing TMNT on two different channels for the Summer.

As for Yu-Gi-Oh GX, always good to have more card game action, though I know it's got a mixed reputation. It's a shame about Horrid Henry though; it had a unique charm. Still, the schedule looks promising, and I'm particularly excited for the new TMNT episodes. Hoping this brings some fresh energy to Saturday mornings. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA June 18, 2008 #13 I have to agree on the new additions doing well, especially TMNT: Fast Forward. It has a loyal fanbase, so ratings shouldn't be an issue. Glad to see The Spectacular Spider-Man keeping its spot, it's easily the best thing on this lineup. Yu-Gi-Oh GX will undoubtedly please the TCG crowd. Sad to see some of the departures, but that's the business, I guess.

Excited for Chaotic and the others, but it's kind of a letdown to lose Horrid Henry. Johnny Test and Eon Kid leaving was expected but still a bit of a loss, content-wise. This new lineup certainly seems geared towards a more action-oriented audience, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Curious to see how it all pans out rating-wise come fall.

Skunk Fu! has its moments, but I thought Johnny Test had a solid fan base, and Horrid Henry certainly had its unique charm. It's interesting to see what the network decides is worth keeping and what's not. Anyone else puzzled by this decision? Or does Skunk Fu! have a bigger following than I'm aware of?

Not to mention, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and TMNT: Back to the Sewer are making their way to our screens as well. However, with all these additions, it seems like only two Kids' WB shows are confirmed to stick around. One of them is The Spectacular Spider-Man, which is a relief, but it leaves us wondering what the other show could be. Any guesses or wishes on what it should be? CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 1, 2008 #17 That's a loaded lineup! Happy to see more variety coming to CW4K!DS, especially with the inclusion of Sonic and Dinosaur King. Those could draw in quite the crowd. The introduction of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and TMNT: Back to the Sewer is sure to shake things up too. As for the Kids' WB holdovers, if Spider-Man's one, I'm really hoping the other is Tom & Jerry Tales. It's classic and has universal appeal. Though, I wouldn't be too surprised if they opt for something like Skunk Fu! again due to its unique style. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 1, 2008 #18 The new additions sound exciting! I'm particularly looking forward to seeing what Huntik is all about. Also, Sonic always has a dedicated fanbase, so that's a smart move. Agreed on hoping the second show that sticks around is Tom & Jerry Tales. It's a timeless classic that appeals to pretty much everyone. But regardless,NOT going anywhere this new lineup suggests CW4K!DS is pushing hard to broaden its appeal and compete with other Saturday morning blocks. bigddan11 Justice must be served! JoinedNov 11, 2003 Messages29,929 LocationOdessa, TX August 1, 2008 #19 These new shows are a bold move for CW4K!DS, aiming to blend nostalgic favorites with fresh faces. Smeshariki and Viva Pinata are unexpected but welcome additions to diversify the content, which has mostly been action-oriented up till now. It's interesting how they're managing the balance between new and existing shows. The Spectacular Spider-Man sticking around is a no-brainer, but I'm intrigued to see what the second holdover from Kids' WB will be. I have a soft spot for Ben 10, but I'm not holding my breath. D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 1, 2008 #20 With every new announcement, CW4K!DS seems to be cementing its position as a Saturday morning staple. The variety in the new lineup speaks volumes about their strategy moving forward. As for the remaining Kids' WB show, my guess is as good as anyone's, but I'm leaning towards something that complements the action and adventure theme they're building on--perhaps Ben 10, given its popularity and franchise potential? Regardless, it'll be interesting to see how these changes impact the overall viewership and if these new additions can capture the audience's imagination as the network hopes. Write a follow up on the 8th of August where it's either Skunk, Tom or Ben staying, and we're gonna find out when they start showing fall promos D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 8, 2008 #21 Hey everyone, the latest word on CW4K!DS is that we'll soon find out which of the remaining Kids' WB shows will stay alongside The Spectacular Spider-Man. Looks like it's down to Skunk Fu!, Tom & Jerry Tales, and Ben 10. They're supposed to start airing fall promos next week, and that's when we'll get our confirmation. The anticipation's killing me! Each of these shows has its own unique draw. Skunk Fu! brings that quirky humor and style, Tom & Jerry is the classic chase comedy that never gets old, and Ben 10 has that action-packed, superhero appeal. Personally, I'm rooting for Ben 10 to stay; it's got a strong following and could synergize well with the other action-oriented shows in the new lineup. What's everyone hoping for? Any predictions based on the new direction CW4K!DS seems to be heading in? veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 8, 2008 #22 Man, this is a tough call. Each show appeals to different segments of the audience. I'd say Tom & Jerry Tales has the broadest appeal given its legacy, but CW4K!DS seems to be leaning a bit more into the action/adventure vibe lately. That makes me think Ben 10 has a strong shot. Either way, it's going to be interesting to see which direction they decide to lean into. Will they continue banking on the nostalgia factor with Tom & Jerry Tales, or double down on action with Ben 10? Can't wait for those promos to drop! CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 8, 2008 #23 I'm betting on Tom & Jerry Tales sticking around. It's just too much of a classic to let go, and it offers a nice comedic break from the action-driven narratives of the other shows. Plus, it's something that parents and kids can enjoy together, adding to its staying power. That said, the action genre is definitely getting a lot of focus with the new additions, making Ben 10 a strong contender as well. If they're looking to fully refresh the lineup with a more cohesive theme, that might edge out the competition. Guess we'll find out soon enough with those promos. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 8, 2008 #24 Honestly, it's a close call between Tom & Jerry Tales and Ben 10 for me. Both have strong arguments for staying. Tom & Jerry is iconic and appeals across generations, making it a safe bet for drawing in viewers. On the other hand, Ben 10 aligns perfectly with the action-fantasy vibe of the new lineup and has a dedicated fanbase. I'm leaning slightly towards Ben 10 because it feels more in line with the direction CW4K!DS is taking, but I wouldn't count out Tom & Jerry Tales just yet. It's going to be an interesting reveal, for sure! Write a follow up where fall promos start airing, Smeshariki is renamed GoGoRiki, and we didn't expect the show staying to be this one D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 15, 2008 #25 Well, the fall promos for CW4K!DS have started airing, and there's quite the surprise twist--none of us saw this coming. First off, a quick note: Smeshariki has been renamed GoGoRiki. That's right, the quirky show from overseas is getting a localized name tweak for its American audience. But here's the real shocker: out of Skunk Fu!, Tom & Jerry Tales, and Ben 10, the show that's sticking around is... Skunk Fu!. I know, right? While many of us were betting on either the classic vibe of Tom & Jerry Tales or the action-packed Ben 10, it turns out that the unique charm of Skunk Fu! has earned it a spot in the revamped lineup. The promos gave us brief glimpses into what we can expect from the new shows like GoGoRiki, Huntik, Sonic, and Dinosaur King, alongside the returning The Spectacular Spider-Man. They're really leaning into a diverse mix of adventure, humor, and action. With Skunk Fu! staying, it seems CW4K!DS is aiming to maintain a slice of the unique and offbeat humor that sets the show apart from more conventional action or classic comedy fare. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 15, 2008 #26 Definitely didn't see Skunk Fu! being the show to stay. It's an interesting choice for sure, and it does add some variety to the lineup, blending in that humorous, quirky edge amidst the action-heavy additions. The GoGoRiki rename was unexpected too, but names aside, it looks like CW4K!DS is gearing up for a season with a lot of fresh flavors. Now that we know Skunk Fu! is staying, I'm curious to see how it'll be positioned among all the new content. Will it serve as a light-hearted breather amongst more intense shows like TMNT: Back to the Sewer and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's? Or perhaps it'll carve out its own loyal following who tune in specifically for the antics of Skunk and the gang. Either way, Fall is shaping up to be an interesting season for CW4K!DS. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 15, 2008 #27 Skunk Fu!, huh? Now that's a curveball. Guess it shows CW4K!DS is willing to take some risks and not just go with the expected choices. It could pay off by distinguishing the block with its unique humor and storytelling style. As for GoGoRiki, the rebranding might help it catch on more easily with the target audience here, making it more relatable and easier to market. This all points towards a very strategic refresh of the lineup, aiming to cater to a wide range of tastes while still keeping a foot in the quirky, comedic side of things with shows like Skunk Fu!. I'm definitely intrigued to see how the audience responds to this mix once the new season kicks off. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 15, 2008 #28 Well, Skunk Fu! taking the spot truly was the wild card in this whole shake-up. It shows that CW4K!DS isn't just playing it safe and is actively looking to differentiate their block. With the addition of GoGoRiki (still wrapping my head around that name change), and now with Skunk Fu!'s blend of humor, it's clear they're looking to offer a broader entertainment palette. What remains to be seen is how this all meshes together once the season starts. Will the balance of action, adventure, and humor attract a wider audience, or will it leave fans missing the more straightforward action punch of something like Ben 10 or the classic antics of Tom & Jerry? Only time will tell, but it's shaping up to be a season full of surprises. Write a follow up where they think they could air SF and GGR together as an Animal Hour, also they're bummed it wasn't B10, T&JT or WOQ staying, but they're gonna enjoy those shows before they're scrubbed away next month D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 22, 2008 #29 Had a bit of a brainstorm after watching the latest promos--what if CW4K!DS is planning to pair Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki (still getting used to that name change) together as some sort of "Animal Hour"? Thematically, it makes sense. Both shows feature anthropomorphic animal characters and could offer a solid hour of quirky, animal-themed adventures. It could be a clever way to carve out a unique niche in the Saturday morning lineup. As much as I'm bummed that it wasn't Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, or World of Quest sticking around, I'm starting to see the potential in the new direction. Still, it's going to be hard saying goodbye to those shows next month. I guess we'll just have to enjoy them while we can, huh? It's a bittersweet moment, knowing these next few weeks are our last chance to catch them before they're scrubbed away for the new season. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 22, 2008 #30 The "Animal Hour" idea sounds pretty plausible and could be a smart move for CW4K!DS. It'd offer a lighter, humorous break from the more intense shows that will be surrounding it. Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki already have that lighthearted, comedic vibe that could mesh well together, creating a seamless, fun-filled hour for kids. And yeah, it's a shame about Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest. They had a good run, and it's always tough to see favorites get taken off the schedule. I'll definitely be making the most of these next few viewings. Here's hoping the new content manages to fill those shoes and then some. It's an end of an era, but also the start of something new and possibly exciting. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 22, 2008 #31 The more I think about it, the "Animal Hour" could be a strategic move to appeal to a younger audience while still keeping the content light and accessible. Pairing Skunk Fu! with GoGoRiki creates a thematic continuity that could really work in CW4K!DS's favor. It seems like they're thinking outside the box, which could pay off. As much as we'll miss Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest, I guess change is the only constant in the world of television. It'll be interesting to see if this gamble attracts a new viewer base or if fans of the departing shows will tune out. Either way, these next few weeks are our chance to say a proper goodbye to the old guard. Let's savor it. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 22, 2008 #32 "Animal Hour" could indeed add a fresh twist to Saturday mornings. There's a charm to Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki that, when combined, could offer something distinctive and engaging for the audience. It's clever programming if that's the route they decide to go. Losing Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest is tough, though. They each brought something special to the table, and it's sad to see them phased out. But I guess this is a reminder to enjoy these shows while they're still around. Here's to hoping they get a fitting send-off in the next few weeks, and that the new lineup can live up to the legacy they're leaving behind. Change is always hard, but who knows? Maybe this "Animal Hour" will become the new favorite for many. D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin September 5, 2008 #33 Alright, the new CW4K!DS fall lineup has officially been unveiled, and it's running from 7 am to 12 pm as always. With all the changes we've been discussing, it's interesting to see how everything has been slotted in. Plus, Chaotic has finally been moved to 11 am, ending the somewhat odd pairing it had since June 21st. Here's the comprehensive rundown for Saturdays: 07:00 AM Will & Dewitt 07:30 AM GoGoRiki 08:00 AM Skunk Fu! 08:30 AM Viva Pinata 09:00 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man 09:30 AM Sonic 10:00 AM Dinosaur King 10:30 AM Huntik: Secrets & Seekers 11:00 AM Chaotic 11:30 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer Looks like "Animal Hour" is somewhat of a morning starter with GoGoRiki and Skunk Fu! back-to-back, setting a lighter, humorous tone early on. Then, moving into a more diverse mix with something for everyone from adventure seekers in The Spectacular Spider-Man and Sonic to the TCG enthusiasts with Chaotic rounding it out before TMNT: Back to the Sewer caps the morning. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid September 5, 2008 #34 This new lineup definitely showcases a wide array of genres. Happy to see Chaotic getting a more fitting spot at 11 am, creating a good lead-in for TMNT: Back to the Sewer. The "Animal Hour" with GoGoRiki and Skunk Fu! is a playful way to kick things off, appealing directly to the younger crowd. I'm particularly excited about The Spectacular Spider-Man and Sonic--both have solid fanbases and deliver on the action and adventure fronts. Huntik is a bit of a wildcard for me, but given its positioning, it seems to bridge the transition from fantasy adventure to the strategic gameplay of Chaotic quite nicely. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA September 5, 2008 #35 The new lineup seems like a strategic blend of humor, action, and adventure, which could really work in CW4K!DS's favor. It's interesting to see a move towards thematic blocks, with the early focus on humor transitioning into more adventure and fantasy-based shows. Chaotic's move to 11 am is also a smart decision. It acts as a nice segue into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer, providing a solid one-two punch of action and strategy that could keep viewers engaged right until noon. All in all, CW4K!DS seems to be really stepping up their game with this new schedule. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA September 5, 2008 #36 The balance in the new lineup looks promising. Starting off with lighthearted, comedic shows like GoGoRiki and Skunk Fu! makes for a gentle lead into the morning, potentially capturing a younger audience from the get-go. I'm especially pleased with how they've positioned shows to gradually build up to more intense, action-oriented programming. It's a pity we had to say goodbye to some of the old favorites, but this fresh lineup seems like it could bring something new and exciting to the table. The strategic placement of Chaotic before Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer could keep viewers hooked and round off the morning on a high note. Let's hope this new direction pays off for CW4K!DS! Write a follow up where they're glad to see the back of the Skunk-Chaotic pairing, as it didn't fit right at all, Viva Pinata has solved this issue D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin September 12, 2008 #37 I've got to say, I'm really relieved to see the end of the Skunk Fu!-Chaotic pairing from the lineup. It never quite felt right, did it? The tonal shift between the two was always a bit jarring--going from the whimsical, humorous world of Skunk Fu! directly into the complex, competitive environment of Chaotic just didn't mesh well. Thankfully, the introduction of Viva Pinata into the schedule has resolved this issue brilliantly. Positioning Viva Pinata after Skunk Fu! creates a much smoother transition in terms of content and tone. Both shows embrace a more lighthearted, fun-filled approach to their storytelling, making the progression into the more adventure and action-oriented shows like The Spectacular Spider-Man and Sonic much more cohesive. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid September 12, 2008 #38 Absolutely, the Skunk Fu! and Chaotic mash-up was a headscratcher for a lot of us. It's like trying to mix oil and water--two fundamentally different properties that just refuse to blend. The inclusion of Viva Pinata as a buffer of sorts is a game changer. It delicately walks the line between whimsy and adventure, making it a perfect bridge between the imaginative chaos of Skunk Fu! and the more strategic depth of Chaotic. This revised structure makes for a much more enjoyable viewing experience. I think it'll make it easier for kids (and, let's be honest, adults too) to stay glued to the TV, comfortably transitioning from one show's energy to the next without the abrupt thematic shifts we were dealing with before. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA September 12, 2008 #39 The Skunk Fu!-Chaotic combination was one of those experiments that sounded good on paper but just didn't translate well in practice. Now that Viva Pinata has taken its rightful place in the lineup, bridging the gap between Skunk Fu!'s goofiness and the more intense, plot-driven narratives that follow, the whole morning feels more unified. It's clear now that Viva Pinata is the missing piece that was needed to round out the early morning segment. Its vibrant, animated world not only complements Skunk Fu!'s humor but also gently ushers viewers towards the excitement and drama of the shows that follow. CW4K!DS seems to have found its rhythm, making for a lineup that's both entertaining and sensibly structured. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA September 12, 2008 #40 I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt the disconnect in the Skunk Fu!-Chaotic pairing. Moving Chaotic to a later slot and bringing in Viva Pinata was a clever move by CW4K!DS. Viva Pinata, with its colorful, engaging world full of fun and adventures, fits perfectly with the vibe following Skunk Fu!. It's these subtle scheduling nuances that can really make or break a viewer's experience. With Viva Pinata now smoothing the transition, the lineup feels more coherent, maintaining the upbeat, adventurous spirit without the abrupt mood swing that the Skunk Fu!-Chaotic shift used to bring. Here's to hoping this new arrangement helps keep viewers engaged and excited for what's to come each Saturday morning.

CHATBOT: Given this setup and the context of the previous discussion, let's continue the conversation as if users are speculating and reacting to potential schedule changes with the arrival of "Chaotic," "TMNT," and "Yu-Gi-Oh" to the CW4K!DS lineup. --- **TurboFanatic** TurboFanatic Need for Speed and Animation! Joined: Mar 3, 2006 Messages: 3,527 Location: California May 25, 2008 #11 I'm really hoping they don't drop **World of Quest** for something like Chaotic. WoQ has really grown on me and it would be a shame to see it go before it gets a proper run. **Eon Kid** might be the one getting the axe, considering it hasn't been mentioned as a mainstay like Ben 10 or Tom and Jerry. **CyberNinja** CyberNinja Gamer and Cartoon Enthusiast Joined: Jan 15, 2007 Messages: 5,100 Location: New York May 25, 2008 #12 I wouldn't mind seeing **Horrid Henry** go, to be honest. It's funny at times, but doesn't hold a candle to the likes of **Spectacular Spider-Man** or even **Johnny Test**. With **TMNT: Fast Forward** coming in, it seems like a likely candidate for replacement, unless they're considering a double dose of TMNT by keeping both. **AnimationAce** AnimationAce Old School Cartoon Fan Joined: Apr 21, 2004 Messages: 7,833 Location: Michigan May 25, 2008 #13 Does anyone else think **Skunk Fu!** is on the chopping block? It's cute, but forgettable. With Yu-Gi-Oh coming back to the lineup, they'll need to make room, and Skunk Fu! seems likely. I'm just relieved **Spectacular Spider-Man** is safe; it's easily one of the best shows on right now. **ComicBookGuy** ComicBookGuy Everyone's a Critic Joined: Jun 12, 2005 Messages: 9,456 Location: Springfield May 25, 2008 #14 Honestly, **Johnny Test** has had plenty of airtime; wouldn't be a loss if it got replaced. But knowing the network, they'll probably keep it around for its popularity among the younger audience. **Eon Kid** and maybe even **Horrid Henry** seem like the likely choices to get cut. As long as they keep quality shows and maybe introduce some fresh ones, I'm good. **MangaMaster** MangaMaster Anime & Manga Fanatic Joined: Oct 9, 2003 Messages: 12,075 Location: Tokyo May 25, 2008 #15 With TMNT and Yu-Gi-Oh joining, it's clear they're banking on nostalgia and brand recognition. Wonder if they're setting the stage for a completely revamped lineup come fall. I guess it's time to start taking bets on what stays and what goes. My money's on **Skunk Fu!** and as much as I hate to say it, **World of Quest**, making way for t...

CHATBOT: --- **TurboFanatic** TurboFanatic Need for Speed and Animation! Joined: Mar 3, 2006 Messages: 3,527 Location: California June 22, 2008 #17 Alright, folks, the new lineup started yesterday, June 21, and it's kinda like what some of us predicted. Here's what CW4K!DS is looking like now: 07:00 AM Will & Dewitt 07:30 AM Magi-Nation 08:00 AM Chaotic 08:30 AM TMNT: Fast Forward 09:00 AM Yu-Gi-Oh! 09:30 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man 10:00 AM Ben 10 10:30 AM Tom & Jerry Tales 11:00 AM Johnny Test 11:30 AM World of Quest So, **Skunk Fu!** and **Horrid Henry** got the axe, making room for **Chaotic** and **Yu-Gi-Oh!** Not entirely unexpected, but still interesting to see the guesses we had turning into reality. **Eon Kid** also got dropped, which was somewhat anticipated, given its lack of presence in the conversations leading up to the change. **World of Quest** sticking around is a pleasant surprise for me, gotta say. **CyberNinja** CyberNinja Gamer and Cartoon Enthusiast Joined: Jan 15, 2007 Messages: 5,100 Location: New York June 22, 2008 #18 I called it on **Horrid Henry** and **Skunk Fu!** getting dropped, though I'm a bit sad about **Eon Kid**. **Chaotic** and **Yu-Gi-Oh!** being added isn't much of a shocker, considering their popularity. Glad to see **World of Quest** survived the cut; that show's really been a dark horse for me. And double thumbs up for keeping **The Spectacular Spider-Man**! **AnimationAce** AnimationAce Old School Cartoon Fan Joined: Apr 21, 2004 Messages: 7,833 Location: Michigan June 22, 2008 #19 This new lineup is quite the shake-up, but in a good way. **Chaotic** and **Yu-Gi-Oh!** add a strong competitive card game vibe to the morning that was missing. Still, gonna miss **Skunk Fu!** for its unique charm. And yes, very happy **World of Quest** is still in there; it deserves more love. Surprised **Johnny Test** is still holding strong, but I guess it has its fans. **ComicBookGuy** ComicBookGuy Everyone's a Critic Joined: Jun 12, 2005 Messages: 9,456 Location: Springfield June 22, 2008 #20 The new lineup does not disappoint! It's like they took a page out of our forum discussion. Sad to see **Eon Kid** go, but **Chaotic** and **Yu-Gi-Oh!** are sensible additions. **TMNT: Fast Forward** having a spot was a given, considering its legacy. As for **World of Quest**, it hanging on is a small victory for us fans. **MangaMaster** MangaMaster Anime & Manga Fanatic Joined: Oct 9, 2003 Messages: 12,075 Location: Tokyo June 22, 2008 #21 This new ...

CHATBOT: Apologies for the confusion earlier. Given the fictional scenario, here's a continuation based on your setup: --- Sonic_Eclipse Sonic_Eclipse Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Joined Jul 20, 2007 Messages 1,979 Location PA June 5, 2008 #11 Just saw an update! Looks like The Spectacular Spider-Man is staying on the schedule. They're probably looking to keep it around with Spider-Man: Homecoming coming out soon. Definitely a smart move; that show's a gem. Also, heard from a pretty reliable source that World of Quest and Skunk Fu! aren't going anywhere either. Seems like they're trying to capitalize on the Kung Fu Panda hype by keeping Skunk Fu! around, and honestly, I'm not complaining. The shows we're losing? Rumor has it Horrid Henry, Eon Kid, and surprisingly, Johnny Test might be getting the boot. Not sure how I feel about Johnny Test leaving; it's like a guilty pleasure, but the other two? Can't say I'll miss them. veemonjosh veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please Joined Sep 30, 2005 Messages 28,860 Location The Grid June 5, 2008 #12 Yeah, I heard about Spectacular Spider-Man too. Pretty excited that it's staying; that show honestly deserves more praise. About World of Quest staying, that's great news! I've been worried about it getting axed before we could see how it ends. For Johnny Test, I have a feeling they might still air reruns until they phase it out completely, or maybe it'll find a home in some other block. As for Horrid Henry and Eon Kid, they had their moments, but I'm not particularly torn about them leaving. CartoonOverlord CartoonOverlord Head of HATE Joined Sep 27, 2005 Messages 2,302 Location USA June 6, 2008 #13 Definitely stoked for more Spectacular Spider-Man. That show is solid gold for superhero fans. As for Johnny Test, it's a bit of a shocker to see it go. Thought it was a mainstay for sure. But then again, everything changes eventually in these blocks. I'm kind of sad to see Eon Kid go; felt like it had potential. But what can you do? On the bright side, TMNT: Fast Forward and the anticipation for the new Ninja Turtles series has me all kinds of excited. Here's hoping they keep up the momentum and bring in some fresh, engaging content! simpsonsfan simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator Joined Aug 19, 2006 Messages 2,662 Location Maine, USA June 6, 2008 #14 It's always a mixed bag when these changes happen, isn't it?
